RAs/GAs fund raiser at Church last month. Son's blue car made it about halfway through the youth league before being eliminated. Daughter's USC car barely beat my tom car to go to the adult league championship where it lost by inches. Thought I'd posted it here already. Am sure there are a few who will appreciate some of the details. Turkey car was really more for a joke but ended up being a contender. Gonna be hard for me to top the idea next year.

That is cool.  Nice job by all three.

Our sons were RAs many years ago and I was an RA leader just a few years ago until we found some younger guys to take over. We had a pinewood derby race for all the RAs and leaders as well. It was so much fun. I'm not sure if the boys or the leaders had a better time.

Our son and our grandsons just had one of those races. They built some good looking cars that did pretty well.

Those are some very creative looking cars you have there. Those are great times. I appreciate your sharing them.

Thanks,
Clark

Enjoyed our RA Racers this year. It is a pleasure to work with those young boys.

Our Royal Rangers just had a pinecar derby race last month. It's always great to see the enthusiasm and creativity of the kids. You guys have some nice cars there!

Thanks fellas. The youth league had a huge amount of cars and took a while. The adult league was purely for fun. I never laughed so hard in my life with all the smack talking going on. Good clean fun and I wouldn't miss it for anything.
